Project Manager - Workday Implementation

Concord is an execution-focused consulting company that helps organizations turn technology and AI initiatives into measurable capabilities through implementation and adoption. The Project Manager will lead an end-to-end Workday implementation, owning the project plan, governance artifacts, vendor coordination, stakeholder management, risk tracking, and delivery through go-live.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain a comprehensive project plan covering the full Workday implementation lifecycle, from day one on the assignment
• Establish and maintain project artifacts (status reports, RAID logs, timelines, resource plans) as a baseline deliverable, not an afterthought
• Define and track measurable progress indicators across workstreams, and report on them consistently
• Manage the team's deliverables, timeline, and accountability
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers before they surface as problems
• Prepare for and lead detailed stakeholder reviews, including deep-dive questioning from senior leadership
• Coordinate across internal teams and the vendor to keep the implementation on schedule and on scope
• Escalate issues clearly and early, with data to support the escalation

Requirements:

• 8+ years of hands-on project management experience, with direct experience managing a third-party vendor delivering a system implementation
• Demonstrated ability to build project plans, status reporting, and tracking artifacts from scratch, not just maintain existing ones
• Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
• PMP or equivalent certification
• Must be authorized to work legally in the US without sponsorship, now or in the future
• Prior experience managing a Workday implementation (or a comparable large-scale HRIS/ERP implementation) strongly preferred
